Abstract
The paper investigates whether watching legal series leads to law school enroll- ment. First, the study analyses if series consumption is related to enrolling at law school. This is achieved by analyzing data of 1,353 students from Münster, Germany. Hence, lo- gistic regressions are conducted. Thereafter, the odds ratios of studying law are compared for the periods before and after the first broadcasting of the series Suits. Results suggest that watching legal series is highly significantly related to studying law. Moreover, findings indicate that the broadcasting of Suits is followed by a rise in application and enrollment numbers at Münster Law School.
本文调查了观看法律连续剧是否会导致法学院的录取。首先，研究分析了系列消费是否与法学院入学有关。这是通过分析来自德国梅恩斯特的1353名学生的数据得出的结论。因此，进行了logistic回归。然后，比较《金装律师》首播前后学习法律的几率比。结果表明，观看法律连续剧与学习法律高度显著相关。此外，调查结果显示，随着《诉讼律师》的播出，申请和入学人数在尼斯特法学院(nster Law School)上升。
